The Heist

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS

 

The Heist

 

I cannot help but admire

The astounding brazen heist

After which they should retire

Though France will pay a price

 

In the heart of fair Paree

A town that treasures artistry

In the brightest light of day

They swept the crown jewels away

 

Where did they go in such a manner?

How could they vanish in the light?

As if they wore a magic banner

That protected them from sight

 

You have to give them what they’re due

A heist for all the world to see

They have shuttered down the Louvre

With an historically stunning feat

 

They will go down in modern history

Though we may never know their names

For the moment it is a mystery

In the heist hall of fame
